RYU GIN

wifey took me to ryu gin for my birthday Friday night.....just wanted to put up a little post...The restaurant was great.....must be the most expensive meal i have ever had, even in NYC.Its a nice little place that has gotten i think 2 michellin stars this year...Had like maybe a 13 course kaiseki there....the ingredients are awesome. the technique was flawless.

Had an ignorant american come in next to us with his mail order bride that complained about japanese food....kept griping about not wanting to suffer through another 3 hour dinner and wanted a cheeseburger from his hotel room service....they left after 3 courses and he told the waiter the food was bland and flavorless and dropped an Amex black card.....what a pompous jerk....all that money and still no class......

just my opinion....other than that the restaurant was great.....

we also then went to 57 for drinks.......its gotten a lot of write ups lately.....looks like a NYC meatpacking joint.....I asked the bartender if Jean Jorges had anything to do with it, but he had no idea....
